Hospital Authority
Hong Kong East Cluster Symposium on
Community Engagement V
"Family - The Key to a Healthy Community"

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to invite you all
to the Fifth HKEC Symposium on Community Engagement,
jointly organized by the Hong Kong East Cluster and Community Partners.
The Symposium will be held on 15 May 2010 (Saturday)
from 10 am to 5 pm at the Youth Square, 238 Chai Wan Road, Chai Wan,
Hong Kong.

The main theme of the Symposium is "Family - The Key to a
Healthy Community", because we believe that family is the
foundation for a healthy community. There would be plenary sessions and
workshops on topics of "Supporting Family in Turmoil- Youth Substance
Abuse in Action", "Caring for the Sick- Family's Role in Looking After
Patients with Chronic Illnesses" and "Meeting Special Needs of Children
and Adolescent in Schools". Our target participants are professionals
from the fields of medical, nursing, allied health, social work,
education and public. We hope that professionals from each sector could
provide us with new inspiration in building a healthy community, and we
expect that the Symposium could bring in more chances of collaboration
with community partners.
